hey guys. how do you all clean the fabric on the door panel? i cant seem to get the color back in them. my whole interior is nice and shiny and then that small part of the door panels are still dirty and fading.

if its dirt, or grease...try using hot water with some laundry detergent... spray it on, scrub it, and vac it out...

If you have access to a steam cleaner it works good aswell. First pre soak it with some soap though.

Chances are the cloth is simply worn out. That thin cloth on the door's arm rest wears out pretty quickly, and when it does, it looks faded and dirty. Be careful how aggressive you are in trying to clean it since it can be damaged more easily that the other cloth in the car (seats, carpets, mats).
